Ptink,

The range of the cars are really good indoors. At work I can
play in the conference rooms, which are about 50 feet across,
and it works that far, at least. However, outside in the sunlight,
the range is very poor... about 5 feet maybe. So in sunlight, the
range does go down a lot. When I'm playing indoors, I don't have to point the controller directly at the car if I'm playing on a
small racetrack, or on the desktop. But if the car goes 20 feet
away or more, I have to pretty much aim directly at the car.
There is an infrared booster that costs about $20.00 and attaches to the top of the Propo controllers, but I haven't read
about them or gotten one yet. That might help in sunlight, but I doubt it

The motors in the cars do make noise, even if you're crawling across the floor. It's not as loud as my Bit Char-G clones, but
it makes enough noise to where people might be bothered if
they're studying


Sengming, I don't have a perfect drift code yet, but I usually set
the code to about 4461 and that lets me do great circles around my coffee cups on the desk
